Why You Should Hire A Bail Bond Company

 

If You Need to Bail Money, Only Trust a Bail Bond Company

The majority of us do not have the money to bail someone out of jail. When bail is set, we tend to panic as soon as we find ourselves in custody. Some people with no money to post bail may even make poor decisions and sell all their belongings in order to make it. Fortunately, bail bonds provide an alternative to traditional methods of securing release from jail.

Bail bonds are surety bonds that you must buy from a bail bond company before paying the total bail amount. The cost of this type of bond is usually 10% of the amount of bail set by the court. This means that even if someone can't pay the full bail amount, they can still purchase a bail bond and be released from jail.

 

Why Bail Bonds?

The answer to this question is relatively easy. If you or someone you love is arrested and placed in custody, they most likely will need money to pay their bail. If you need to post bail for someone, the easiest way to do so is by purchasing a bail bond from a company. After a bail bond application has been approved, a bail bond company will pay the bail amount to release the person in custody.

A bail bond company will likely require an evaluation of your personal property to be eligible for a bail bond. When you post bail, you are responsible for paying the rest of the bail bond cost. If a person fails to appear for their court date, the bail bonds company may seize their property to cover its loss of the bail money. If things go well, the only price for a bail bond will be the initial premium used to purchase it, plus any company-specific fees.

 

Alternatives to Bail Bonds

While bail bonds are not typically used, most people choose to use a bail bonds service. The alternatives to bail bonds are much more complicated than any other method of getting out of jail. In addition to bail bonds, other methods that are used to pay for a prisoner's release include personal loans, second mortgages and pawn services. These methods are not only more complicated than bail bonds but can also be expensive. TIf you don't pay your taxes; you could end up facing criminal charges. However, for a small premium, you can access loans without worrying about being accessible.

 

Why Pay Bail at All

You may wonder why you should not save yourself the trouble and simply serve your time in custody before your hearing. While it is an option to post bail, those who do not pay their bail cannot adequately prepare themselves for trial. As a result, these people are often convicted and sentenced to long jail terms. However, if you can make bail, obtain a lawyer and be ready for your defence, your chances of not being convicted are significantly increased. A judge is more likely to believe a witness who has thoroughly prepared for trial.

 

Bail Bonds Are the Easiest Way to Freedom

Bail bonds are the easiest way to pay for bail. Paying for the bond and showing up in court are the only requirements for getting out of jail. When you use a bail bond company, they will take care of the rest. Paying for bail outright is more problematic than using a bail bond. It can be difficult to move large sums of money and even more difficult to retrieve it after a trial. Only bail bond companies are legally allowed to serve bail bonds.
